Wash and trim the broccoli, peel the stalk thinly, and cut into small pieces. Chop the florets. Finely chop the onion. Heat the oil in a soup pot and sauté the onion. Add the finely chopped celery, carrot, and broccoli stalk pieces and sauté. Add the spelt semolina and toast briefly, stirring occasionally. Deglaze with the vegetable stock. Add the broccoli florets and simmer gently for 15-20 minutes. Add more stock or water if desired (depending on the desired consistency of the soup). Purée the soup if desired. Stir in the herbs. Shortly before the end of the cooking time, stir in the sour cream and season with salt and pepper. Toasted bread cubes go well with this.
